On the 1st of May, 1887 we shall put the
entire subscription list of the WATcHMAN on
the plan of strictly advance payment, at
that time disseminating all papers not paid
for ahead and collecting the unpaid bal
ances like any other account. We are sat
isfied from our experience with the present
plan that the new plan is the only right
and desirable one for both subscribers and
publisher. 1t is no exaggeration to state
that the former publishers of this paper lost
thousands of dollars on subscriptions by ad-
herence to the credit plan, to say nothing
of the trouble in making collections and the
time spent in sending out bills, too often
without compensating results. We are con-
vinced that it would be poor business policy
to continue this method
We find that an increasing number of
subscribers now make it special condition
of their subscription that their paper shall
be stopped when the time has run out un-
less they order its continuance. large
number invariably pay in advance or within
a reasonable time; but there is an equally
large number who are "slow pay" and
there are not a few who either cannot or
will not pay. The losses from this class
take off the profits from those who are
"good pay" The rule requiring extra pay
for arrears had been so far relaxed when
the WATCHMAN came into our possession
that we have found it impracticable to en-
force it without creating much dissatisfac-
ton. Besides, it seems unjust that one class
of subscribers who have paid at least once a
year should be compelled to make up the
deficiencies of another.
The propriety of the position we are TAX
ing must be evident to ALL The system OF
advance payments is the practice of most
of the city papers; and in our own state il
has been tried by several papers for some
years, and their publishers say they could
not be induced to go back to the old plan
If our subscription list is smaller under the
new system (and we anticipate that it will
be-, we shall have the satisfaction of know
ing that we are getting pay for all the
papers we are sending out, and the sub
scribers will have the satisfaction of know.
ing that they have paid for all the papers
they receive. The paper will stop at the
expiration of the time for which it is paid
and the subscriber will be saved the trouble
of ordering it discontinued if he does moi
want it longer.
We trust that all of our patrons who are
in arrears and who want the paper fol
another year will comply with our new
terms before the 1st of May, 1887. The la
bel on their papers shows the date to which
they have paid and they can readily ascer
tain the amount that is our due, but state
ments of account will be sent on request.

JAMES STEVENSON rs. PHINEAs X. GAR
NEY.--Trover. Mr.. Stevenson, the plaintiff,
lives in Cabot, on the road to Peacham.
The defendant formerly lived with his
father on the same road. For some time
past Carney, the defendant had been in
debted to Stevenson, and the Indebtedness
was put into two certain promissory notes.
Those notes had been renewed and were
still kept in two notes on one paper. The
matter ran along until 1885, when Stevenson
told Carney he must pay something on the
notes. Thereupon Carney came to Steven
sons house and saw the plaintiff, who in
vited him in. He Carney hitched his team
and went inside. He then asked Stevenson
to figure the interest on the notes, which
the plaintiff proceeded to do. When the
interest was figured Carney took the notes
and put them in his pocket, refusing to pay
for them. Stevenson would not let him
leave the house and a scutfle occurred be-
tween the parties, Carney trying to leave
the place and Stevenson trying to prevent
him. Suddenly Mr.. Carney said, " There
used to be another way out of this house.
I'll go that way" and he did so. Stevenson

trying to persuade him to give up the notes
or pay them, but Carney would do neither,
and, getting into his wagon, drove off. Mr..
Stevenson at once instituted legal proceed
ings to recover his two notes, and this suit
was for that purpose. The defendant adj
mitted taking the notes. but claimed that
he had paid for them; that when Stevenson
figured up the interest he had handed him
the sum arrived at, some $3.50. Carney also
admitted that there was a scuffle but said
1t was not much of a one and arose from
some remarks he made to Stevenson, which
angered him, to the effect that he (Steven-
SOM had defrauded his (Garney's) father.
The plaintiff introduced his sister as wit
ness, who testified that the room had the
appearance of scuffle having taken place.
The case went to the jury Monday night,
and yesterday morning they returned a
sealed verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
the full value of the property taken away.

The Constitution of New York con-
tains a section providing that the Gov
ernor may sign bills for certain num-
Der of days after the Legislature adj
journs. Hence the rumor referred to
in our issue of Sunday as to the Presi-
dent and the river and harbor bill. We
are not sure but the Constitution
of every State and that of the United
States ought to contain q similar pro-
vision. But it seems to us preposterous
to pretend that the Federal Constitution
as ii now stands allows to the President
that privilege. The provision of the
New York Constitution was resorted to
because the President and the State
Governors did not have power under
the Federal and State Constitutions TO
sign bills after the Legislative body adj
iourned.

TUESDAY. MARCH 8, 1887
"Revse Your Figures"

Our paragraph under the above head
inc in our last issue was intended to
call attention to the possibility that
those persons who were offering to pay
more than 3 per cent. interest on the
State debt had forgotten that where
bonds run for fifty years, as the Riddles
do, the interest amounts in all to much
more than the principal. A 3per cent.
bond running fifty years amounts,
principal and interest, to $3.50 ION
S1O0), a per cent. bond to $500, and a
8 per cent. bond to $3.50. Or twenty mil
lions ats per cent. amounts, principal
and interest, to 5000, 900; at 4 per
cent. to $50, 200, 900; and at 5 per cent
to $40, OOO,0 900.
But how if the choice be between
twenty millions at 4 per cent. and
twenty-five millions at 3 per cent 1t
would seem, prima .facie, that the
former amounted, principal and inte-
rest, to S6O,OO0,OOO, or 81, 500, 900 less
than the latter. But this is not true.
AS the State would pay $50, 900 more of
interest every year on the As than on
Thesis, the interest on this $50, 900 must
he included in the calculation, 225
years in all-49 years of interest on the
first $50, 600, As on the next, and so on
amounting to 81, 100000, or only $780,
600 less than the total of interest on the
3 per cents. When we recollect that in
the case of the per cents the payment
of five millions would thus be post
poned for fifty years, which in the case
of the As would begin to be paid the
first year, we find that there is nothing
to be gained or saved for the State by
substituting 500, 600, 600 at 4 per cent.
for s25, 600, 900 at 3 per cent.
In other words, as the State has so
clearly shown IN its recent articles on
the subject, we know where we stand
now, but we cannot foresee what slip
perry places will cause us to fall to rise
no more if we abandon the plan of set
Element which the people of Virginia
have endorsed at the ballot-box three
several times. II the Legislature shall
begin to parley as to whether it will
pay 4 per cent. and let the principal
stand as 1t is, or 3 per cent. and in
crease the principal by five millions, it
will soon find that it has converted our
halls of legislation into bedlam, and
opened the door of the United States
Senate TO WILLIAM MALONE.
